The Epic History of the Chinese and Roman Empires

When people think of the greatest empires of the ancient world, they think of the Roman Empire and the Chinese Han Dynasty. The history of the Roman Empire and of the Han Dynasty is epic. Both of these empires ruled over vast numbers of people, and both ruled for approximately four centuries. The Roman Empire was known for its unstoppable military. The Roman military literally changed the way that war in Europe, the Middle East, and parts of northern Africa was fought. The Han Dynasty had a similar effect on the way that war was fought in the Orient.

Both the Roman Empire and the Chinese Empire were known for trade. Rome created trade routes that covered the globe. There are many accounts in history where the Roman Empire and the Chinese Empire interacted for economic trade. The Roman Empire caused Latin to be the primary language that was spoken throughout Europe. For centuries, Latin was the language of the people, and then it became a language that was closely linked to Christianity. The growth of the Roman Empire had a powerful effect on the religion that was practiced by people who lived under the Roman domain. The Han Dynasty had the same effect.

This Man Influences Me and My Family

This man whom I met in the temple of God in Manila has made me realized how important is the family. I am fully convinced then that family could be together forever after I performed the temple ordinance for my wife and me, and my children.

This greatest experience is a part and parcel of my spiritual being for 33 years of my membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I have strong testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and even the truthfulness of this Church as I stay close to the Church and nurture my faith together with my family all-out support.Because of our faithfulness to the Church and as we keep our covenant too, we have received many blessings which are beyond measure so to speak. They take several forms. We know that God really loves us. He wouldn't forsake us especially when we are in our dire needs. He really answers our prayers. He wants us to follow His plan of salvation for our redemption from the Fall.

How Genevieve Aura Got Her Name?

Genevieve Aura

At the dawn of April 14, my wife Rebecca gave birth to a baby girl in the health center of La Carlota City in 1979.

The attending midwife inquired from my wife what will be the  name of our daughter. She didn't right away give her a name, instead she waited for me for I was in the plaza, which is just a stone-throw away from the center, taking my round of brisk walking exercise which I used to do it every early in the morning.

When I got back, my wife told me about it. I didn't have to think on what name to give our 3rd child. I told her right away that the name should be Genevieve Aura. My wife just grinned, didn't bother to ask why.

But earlier when I saw our child in one of the cribs at the nursery room, I was amused of her stature and look for she's a cute, lovely child. Since we already have our two kids, a boy and a girl, my wife and I were expecting that we would have another boy whom we are desirous to have. That's our expectation, but we were wrong.
